I'm playing around with an "alternative" way to retain state across screen transitions, config changes and so on. So far I'm basically mimicking the `ViewModelStore `class (basically a HashMap tied to the activity lifetime that survives configuration changes), so I can cache arbitrary objects.
I believe it is much better than having `ViewModel`s because this approach lets me create the models I need in 100% compose.

This is no rocket science, however I couldn't find any thread or post about this, so there must be something bad. Can someone enlighten me?

Context: I'm currently using rememberSaveable and SaveableStateHolder. However, the user can trigger a TransactionTooLargeException if he navigates through the app for a while and then leaves the app, and I feel like that hashmap is the less painful and quickest solution to implement

I am pretty sure @jw has some opinions on this kind of thing ☝️
